Solo Queria Ser Niña
Martta Sanz
I Just Wanted to Be a Girl
Girls see, listen and remain silent
While the elders speak
Don't make so much noise, be more polite
You are prettier when you are quiet
Ask permission to get up
But don't ask your mother
Hold on to anything, it's your blood
I don't give a shit about failing them
Today I would like to go back
Revolutionize myself and scream
I just wanted to be a girl and sing at the table
Eat without control everything I want
Dancing without looking, being free from more
Be what I should be at my age
I just wanted to be a girl and try new things
Jumping in puddles, getting covered in dirt
Seeing the world through my eyes
Don't carry your judgments and fears on your shoulders
The perfect girl who never does anything
He's tired of putting on a good face for you
Living attentive to all eyes
Of keeping quiet and containing his rage
I want you to talk to me, but without shouting
I want you to ask me for the same thing you give
I just wanted to be a girl and sing at the table
Eat without control everything I want
Dancing without looking, being free from more
Be what I should be at my age
I just wanted to be a girl and try new things
Jumping in puddles, getting covered in dirt
Seeing the world through my eyes
Don't carry your judgments and fears on your shoulders
Today I'm going to put my feet on the table
And rest my elbows on this
May my hand hold my head
I'm going to chew with my mouth open
I just wanted to be a girl and sing at the table
Eat without control everything I want
Dancing without looking, being free from more
Be what I should be at my age
I just wanted to be a girl and try new things
Jumping in puddles, getting covered in dirt
Seeing the world through my eyes
Don't carry your judgments and fears on your shoulders
Now you will tell me that I am made of glass
That I can't even blow
I can't stand anything
That means I'm healed, thank you
